A bait catch as used in a rodent trap is a metal pedal having two
functions. One is to hold a treat to attract a rodent and two is
to secure arming bar held under a spring loaded kill bar.
Problem is a rodent might actuate trap kill bar
held by bait catch while
another rodent eats baited catch and walks away making
baited catch useless. A rodent, large or small has no clue eating a bait catch
treat could be its last meal. My two US patents use 21st century
bait catch technology increasing odds it will be rodents last meal. See 35 & 37
below.

Current competition are two very
similar traps manufactured and sold by nationally-recognized US
companies using their outdated and at times useless bait catch. For
whatever reason there has been a lack of innovative thought to patent any
simple improvements to their bait catch. Both companies rely solely on their well-known ubiquitous
trademark, a nearly 62 year
old expired US patent #2,761,240 Trap issued Sept. 4, 1956
and a buyer not knowing there is a better way!

A bait catch treat could be beef jerky, breadstick, chip, cookie,
cracker, nut, pop-tart, pizza crust, pretzel or a triscuit complimented with a 1/4 teaspoon of peanut butter in a variety of configurations
as shown below.

Here is your opportunity to own two
significant patented improvements to an unaltered century old bait catch using your
own ubiquitous trademark!

I have a third
patentable innovatively
simple method
improving my patented
Rodent Trap Improvement and
Snap Trap Actuator. Third
version uses very same
trap parts shown above
plus a few others to
modify a
bait catch
increasing
sensitivity and closing
kill bar speed 100%.

There is a forth
patentable innovatively
simple use application
for a rodent trap having
very same parts shown
above plus a few others
and has nothing to do
with rodents but rather
for what humans do every
day!
